Spent the labor day summer long weekend there & were already expecting the usual long queue at the reception & crowded beach but we were surprised to have experienced a hassle-free check-in & check out plus it felt like we had the beach all to ourselves most of the time.

We went on a low season and on a weekend, not too much people. They gave us a free upgrade to one of the rooms with a balcony, what I really hate is that the AC is too loud, so even if you want to see the beach from small balcony of your room the AC is really disturbing like you cannot hear the sound of the beach at all and even at night when you sleep.

The door lock in the bathroom is broken and the main door has a trim gap, makes it easy for anyone to unlock it. Faucet in the bathroom is not working properly too. I saw their menu and a bit pricey too, nothing special I didn't try the food but there's really nothing special to it. I will recommend this place to families or groups of friends that can share the room and needs good space. WIFI works excellent staff.

We will be retuning again very soon staff and management were always helpful
And polite very good value a big thank you for the management and the chef, The sea was amazing and good surfing , and very safe ,

The China Beach Resort was my best surprise during a month-long trip of the Philippines that included the "La Union" coast (Bauang).

This hotel was a real gem, a reasonably priced place with a beautiful beachfront location, superbly kind and well-trained staff, first-rate food, good security, relatively modern rooms, reliable WiFi, and an peaceful feel. I recommend it with great enthusiasm!

We will surely go back and next time we will stay for three days, two nights. Had a great family bonding.

Restaurant staff are very courteous and willing to assist. Overall everyone are nice and cheerful. Food is affordable and yummy. Room is cozy, smells good and thanks for your discount. Will definitely recommend the place.

We chose this hotel resort because we ran out of options along the resorts or hotels from Bauang, La Union.

We had to find the nearest place where the accommodation would be nice and the beach is within walking distance. The pool is already a plus points for this resort-hotel. However, we find the deluxe 2 cramped for four pax, with two double beds, a single bed and a space for the additional bed. We were disappointed when the additional bed turned out to be a thin mattress. But, the reception was quick to address our concern by giving us another mattress free of charge. Still, there was little space for us to walk. The beach was nice and warm where you can swim safely, not too crowded. It is good for water skiing, kayaking and surfing. However, you need to go far if you want to dive, fish and snorkel. When we requested for a motorized waterbike, it was not available as opposed to their advertisement. Their pool is warm but not suited for children below 4 feet in height. We find their rate too pricey since it doesn't come with a complimentary breakfast. I would still consider them above average for a resort type hotel within La Union.

During our stay there was a wedding function and it seems thatvoyr presence was not expected because the owner said overbooked.

The owner did make sure we got what we wanted and even gave a complementary refreshment while we waited. I was frustrated with the ppace because it was not like how it was presented online. The pool water was green and the rooms were small. It is not worth the price of staying in an expensive resort. I had to shorten our stay and when I called the staff was not very welcoming. We did get the refund we were due. For other visitors, do jot rely on the advertisement because you may have the same unpleasant experience as we did. Ask around because there are other more competetive and better resorts around.

San Juan is a nice place to spend weekend on the beach or surf. It is quiet. Water is shallow and warm.

La Union is a rich place for agriculture, nature and history.
It is not highly urbanised and still underdeveloped, but, has many areas of interests for tourists, foreign and local alike.

ILANO,Philippines

you need to know the place like san juan is for surfing, diving, waves are high and strong not suitable for family or children swimming while san fernando is suitable for family swimming,get together,but not so many good hotels most are publics,many gardens and sites tovisit other than sun and beach, people are friendly

Elis,Philippines

Depending if you wanna live the surfer lifestyle you could stay longer than 2 nights, me, my wife and daughter really enjoyed our 1 night stay with all morning and afternoon surfing.

La Union is indeed the surfing capital of the Philippines. The Ilocano food is superb too! Going there is easier now because of the NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX links.

You can reach the place in 3-4 hours! It is safer too because you don't need to travel between towns. The new express ways are BIG!

lots of delicacies to buy such as dried fish, tupig, fruits also. you can go to manaoag after your swimming at the beach.

belmonte,Philippines

It's a place where you can find many small resorts which can cater to your needs. It's a relaxing place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

People are very friendly and helpful. The locals sell a lot of dried fish, fish sauce "bagoong", garlic, and other local delicacies by the roadside which travellers can buy to bring home. Surfing is a growing sport in the area, so some resorts offer surfing lessons to its guests.

The San Juan area has quite improved and really good to have more events in surfing to attract visitors.

La Union has to think about what unique industry or products they can best attract visitors. Fresh large seafoods should be developed and means of developing corals in the sea has to be done to protect the seashore and the fish. Fishfeeding area is one attraction for holidayers particularly for families. Fresh dried seafoods will be good source of income. Local residents have to be given trainings in developing small businesss, eg., manufacturing of canned goods, cattle industry to supply local markets, etc. Wavepools will be safer and more fun for children for resorts that lost their beachfronts.
